Would you like to know the secret sauce to success?

Oh you want me to whisper it into your ear {first_name}!

If we could create a secret formula of success, bottle it, add a fancy label, we would probably get rich off it.

If only it were that simple. But the truth is, you ain’t here, reading this newsletter if that was your mojo.

You don’t mind getting a little dirty, rolling up your sleeves and getting to work.

So, as you get your butt on the growth train, and catapult yourself to higher levels of success, here are just 3 traits that will get you there faster.

1. Prioritise. Prioritise. Prioritise.

Just had to say it a few times so it sinks in.

Focusing on the most important things when you need to, and doing the work when you don’t feel like it.

Let’s face it, you know this but many don’t do it. And the reason is because it is a skill like riding a bike, planning your quarterly strategy or the art of selling.

Prioritising requires time to practice and to master.

Consider making it a daily task to practice prioritising, ask what is the most important task to do today, set an estimated time and repeat. This means throughout your day reviewing if you are doing the most important task now or not.

Priorising will keep you on track.

2. Resilience

This is where, no matter the circumstances, when you fall over, you get back up again.

Business can be tough, you get knocked around and down. You might feel some days the world is against you, or rejected because you can’t seem to pick up business.

Setbacks happen. People will say no. Heck, they may even bitch and moan about what you don’t do for them to anyone who will listen.

It’s not just resistance, but residence with a growth mindset is the secret. If you see how any challenge is helping you on your path to growth, you’re resilient with a purpose.

Resilience is key to being able to navigate through the challenges with grace.

3. Accountability

You work for yourself, so the benefit of working for yourself is no one tells you what to do.

Yet…… the downside of working for yourself is no one tells you what to do.

*Big sigh*

You have to make sure you hold yourself accountable to the goals you want, and do the action steps necessary to achieve your goals.

It can be so easy to do feel good tasks. But, these tasks are not necessarily the tasks that will achieve a result.

Do these three actions and you’ll notice a difference in your inner world which will influence your business in the best way.

#bringonsuccess

Now…. Let’s face it, our inner world is what can prevent us from being successful. That inner critic that rears its ugly head and tells us that we can’t, who I am to do that internal dialogue that stops us in our tracks.

In the ever evolving and changing landscape of success, you will have moments of doubt, uncertainty. This is part of everyone’s journey.

In my time as a coach, I have not yet met a woman who didn’t have “voices” in her head that is disruptive or critical, and this internal narrative leads to them perceiving themselves in a negative light.

The inner critic is never completely silenced. It can’t be, as it is a part of ourselves that acts as an internal homeostatic mechanism when we are prideful.

If you can never silence it, then embrace it as feedback. Next time you get distracted or disillusioned with yourself, look at what the inner critic is trying to show you? What is it trying to tell you? What is underneath the content.

Here are some examples;

“Who am I to share my content with the world?”

Deeper question: Where is the pride in what you know? And what don’t you know (to humble yourself).

“What if you make a mistake?”

Deeper question: Where do you think you have to know more? And what’s the downside of knowing more?

The little voices will subside and success can reign.

With love and wisdom,

It was the end of the financial year this week.

It’s an opportunity for you to do a review of your income and expenses, see where you’re at with your net worth and how you’re tracking your financial goals. #Financialfreedomplease

Ok, I know you’ll either be doing a boggie on your chair with me to celebrate your achievements this year or you’re thinking “S*#t” this year, I promise.

I’m a geek and have been tracking my finances since 2010.

It wasn’t easy, and it was very uncomfortable. I had very little income and I had some debt. I knew I had to face reality and stop avoiding a difficult conversation with myself.

Taking a deep breath.

I opened a spreadsheet and wrote what I owed. Money on my credit card, a bill to a company and to a family member.

Now, time to calculate my assets. Hmmm?! Zero. Nothing.

That part was easy.

The following year, I did the same exercise with a little lightness and spring in my step.

I’d worked on my money mindset throughout the year, I was beginning to understand how to serve and grow a business, so within 12 months I was beginning to see big changes.

Fast track to June 2022 and my tracking has become more sophisticated. I track leads, conversion rate, customer lifetime values, income, expenses and net worth.

Tracking gives a perspective on your business that is real. Sometimes you feel you’re off track, but the figures don’t lie. They tell the real story.

It’s the fastest way to look at yourself and make changes, either inwardly (like coming to Maximum Growth Business class) or outwardly, by learning about finances and financial markets.

So, it’s been a fun process for me to track my finances. I want to share some of that juicy inspiration with you too.

Here it is. Your own financial tracking spreadsheet.

You can download my financial spreadsheet and call it your own.

It’s basic. It’s unbranded. It’s yours.

Give it to me baby.

Take the time to really see where you are at financially.

I’d love to know how you go?!

And… if any uncomfortable feeling comes up around doing the work, or afterwards, come to our 6 hour Maximum Growth Transformation Day.

It’s an opportunity for you to work through the Demartini method to dissolve your emotional baggage to increase your self-worth and your ability to hold onto and keep your mula.

To more riches within,

You’d be surprised how many people associate crying with weakness. And they think that if they completely dissolve a dynamic to where the only words left in their heart are, “Thank you, I love you” then they’ll cry and they’ll be perceived as weak.

(Usually that’s a belief learned early on in childhood – between 3-7 years old.)

If that’s you, I have a message just for you:

You can have a genuine, inspiring breakthrough without tears.

Because let’s remember the 6 signs of a true breakthrough: Certainty and presence in the mind, gratitude and love of the heart, enthusiasm and inspiration in the body.

Everything else is an illusion.

The key is how you feel.

Now, you might be different. Maybe you’re not charged about crying.

Maybe you get too ‘in your head’ because you’re familiar with the current level of challenge. And even though you want to change, there’s a level of comfort in familiarity.

Your charge becomes like a comfortable PJ’s you love getting into, and you aren’t ready nor wanting yet to dissolve it (better the devil you know kind of thinking).

So perhaps your fear of graduating to a new – and more importantly, unknown – challenge is greater than your fear of staying ‘stuck in the rut of the same cycle of thinking’. ​​​​​​​Or maybe (last example, promise) the last time you became too emotional, your world fell apart or you perceived you received too much criticism. So you subconsciously think, “I won’t go there again”.

Do you get where I’m going with this? Like the great oracle of Delphi said, “know thyself.”

Are you afraid of anything that might happen by breaking through?

If yes, work through that first (ie remove the roadblocks in the way of clearing your issue) and come back to your initial issue.

If not, let’s move to:

WHEN IT’S TIME TO DIG AROUND IN THAT BEAUTIFUL MIND OF YOURS

Much shorter for this one. You overthink things because your mind comes up with all sorts of reasons or imagined outcomes why you shouldn’t get to a state of gratitude and love.

e.g. somewhere in your mind, you’ve associated loving your soon-to-be-ex (with whom you’ve had a rough relationship) with the outcome that you’ll fall back into a relationship with them after breaking through. i.e. you still have a charge somewhere that the ‘old’ dynamic is more bad than good, more pain than pleasure or more challenge than support.

So, that imagined outcome of a renewed relationship is an illusion.

Because remember – you still have a choice after you’ve dissolved your charge. The difference is that you choose your actions from a balanced, grateful place. Not a lopsided one that will send you straight back into a similar dynamic (so you have another chance to love it.)

Just knowing that whatever you think MIGHT happen is no indication of what WILL happen.

Funnily enough, the only way to really ‘control’ the outcome is to dissolve the emotion around the outcome.

So, let this be a quick guide for you, my overthinker. Your head can be the key to your heart if you let it. Just take a little tweak in perspective.

Remember: thinking AND feeling. It’s both, not either/or.

Oh, and Thank you. For being here, for striving to live a more meaningful life every day. I love you with all my head, all my heart and all my soul.

PS – Sharing this loving kick up the derriere I read in an email today: Just because we understand how to dissolve our issues, doesn’t mean we don’t have to put in the work. How’s that for tough love? Let’s keep on.

PPS – If you’d love guidance in dissolving your stuff, weekly help with me is right here.

“You’re not a facilitator, you’re a gardener, you plant seeds and watch things germinate.”

That’s what I tell the coaches I work with who are challenged with the shifts you see with clients.

This isn’t a philosophy I read from somewhere, I know this to be true because people have planted seeds for me.

In 2015 when I completed my master certification in the Demartini method, at the Demartini Method Training program in Houston, I had a session swap with Amit, a savant and super aware facilitator (AKA a gifted gardener).

I can’t not remember what we worked on, just that a mighty oak tree planted that day. I knew something shifted because I reflected on that session for years to come and questioned myself “when will it be time to create my own signature program?

One of the stand out thoughts was feelings are a part of humanity. Sounds like nothing, but it has been a huge shift in me, to feel all the feelings, and share the message in the work that it is ok to feel too. Feeling is the very thing that makes us human, it helps us connect, celebrate, and live a rich life.

You can’t hide from feelings. Repressing them ain’t good for the body, numbing them ain’t good for life. Instead, it’s an empty, meaningless life.

I’ve definitely had a journey over the past 7 years to acknowledge and feel all the feelings. Then doing the work required to level up.

Another gold nugget of wisdom from the session was a statement Amit made as we wrapped up the session was “Tanya when are you going to create your own thing.”

It has been an idea percolating in the back of my mind for all these years.

I love the Demartini Method. It’s become a part of my thinking and a lens I view my world from that I’ll continue to share the work worldwide for a long time to come. Nothing will change there.

And, I have been dream in of my own thing for a while. When the idea popped into my head for the Power Walkshop a few years ago, it felt like something unique and different.

When it came to finally setting a date and making plans, I sat down to write the program.

I can only describe it as a flood of enthusiasm that ran through me and within a few hours the program was created.

It was as if I was guided to write the words down (do you get me or is this too woo woo weird for you?…. I own my weirdness 😂)”

You experience the Power Walkshop in the way it was written. The lessons, the people around you, the universe, the path guide you to your life purpose.

You don’t have to sit there contemplating what it is, because it is in your face, over and over again.

This program is unique because it combines the mind and body, the material and spiritual worlds, the head and the heart, attention and intention together in a practical (yet based on theory) to help your purpose unfold over the 5 days.

Plus, we sprinkle presence, certainty, lots of love and gratitude, into the days that you’ll have a new and profound way of living.

It’s not about a work purpose (although that may reveal itself), it’s about a life purpose.

I’ve found my signature program that I want to share with you.

If you’re keen to experience a soulful transformation, then come join us for the Power Walkshop in November 2022. Click here to find out more.

Let’s have a hard conversation.

About “no.”

Yes? 😂

When you hear the word ‘no’ in sales, you’re meant not to take it as a hard ‘no’ but more a ‘no for now.’

Some people believe that it takes 7 ‘no’s’ from someone until they say yes.

Let’s spin it around to you being the one saying ‘no’.

Your initial response is no. Your second response is still no. Third, yep, it’s a no. Keep going and eventually you cave and say yes.

Was it your decision to say yes? Did you just subordinate to this individual’s wants and needs and disown your own? Or did you really want to say yes?

If people in your life learn they can push and receive the answer they want, of course they’re going to push.

Then you end up living under other peoples expectations of you which isn’t very inspiring.

No is a very empowering word. You create a sense of authority in your life by stand up or even against for something you want.

Sometimes you must say no more than once; while this may feel uncomfortable, it is really important to create strength and autonomy.

What do you want to hold your ground to say ‘no’ to {first_name}? I’d love to hear from you.

I have a story to share. It’s not mine. And I don’t remember where I read it. But I wanted to share it with you as it might be your story.

M A M A ’ S M A M A ’ S

”Grandma, I’m tired. So tired of this life…”

“Take your tiredness, my child, and wrap it around yourself. Like a blanket in the cold winter months. Tiredness comes to make you a nest, to bring you to wear comfortable clothes, to make you sink into its warm embrace. I invite you to stay within yourself. Without strength, without thoughts, without actions. Like the snow that covers everything to soften the world, to make it muffled, to protect it from noise. Accept the flakes of your tiredness and let yourself be completely covered by them.”

“I could die buried under there…”

“You will be reborn instead. Like the seed in the ground. Do not resist your weariness, do not reject it with a thousand actions, a thousand intentions, a thousand feelings of guilt. It just wants to take you by the hand and lead you to sink into the void. Right there, where the source of every inner strength lies. They taught us to be strong by resisting. But it is in surrendering that the true heroes emerge.”

“I’m afraid, grandmother. What if fatigue will annihilate me?”

“My child, you are not afraid of tiredness but of losing control of yourself. The time has come for you to give yourself to life. And to generate together with it the most wonderful children: the fruits of your soul!”

~Elena Bernabè

Maybe time has come to give yourself to life.

Stop running from the things that are important and go live what’s meaningful to you regardless of what you think you should do but do what your heart is calling you to do.

Your soul will be set of fire.

And it will light the world.

What’s more important than that?

Warm fuzzy soulful hugs my friend,

You may have noticed I have been MIA from your inbox the past four weeks.

Let me explain. . .

I came down with the flu after my sister’s wedding in March. It was rough on my body that I had to cancel clients.

There goes a week.

The following week, my daughter had gastro.

Just when you think it’s over, and after I’m starting to feel better from the flu, my daughter passes me a little gastro gift and I had my head in the toilet all night. Followed by a fever for 3 days straight, not much work happened.

There goes another week and a half.

My body was getting a belting.

I wasn’t even thinking of emotionally processing, it seemed more a survival response, just trying to get through the next day.

Late last week, when my mind was back in the game, I reflected on the past month and what I realised was that the body is an amazing healing machine. ​​

• You breathe about 23-thousand times a day.

• Your heart beats 100,000 times per day, pumping 5.5 litres per minute, which adds up to about 3 million litres of blood a year.

• You spend 10 percent of the day blinking. 28.800 times a day to cleanse your eyes.

• Your skin’s outer layer sheds every 2-4 weeks.

• It is working behind the scenes to heal when you’re injured or ill.

Your body wants to heal. And it wants to stay alive.

And the power of the mind has the capacity to heal the body.

Taking a little wisdom from Schopenhauer, who stated “find freedom from suffering in any circumstance.” Be free in the mind. Creates freedom in your body.

So I found the blessings, looked at the benefits to my clients who I cancelled two or three times in a row. Looked at how it was serving my business to not do the administration tasks I have to get done.

It made me realise that I can love what I do, but I hadn’t been taking care of my health to the degree I could have been and that it was going to be a priority.

Fast forward to Sunday night after about 3 days of feeling spiritly again.

Ohhhhhh…. Myyyyyy…. Freakin’…. God….

I’d run 12km in preparation for the Power Walkshop in June that day. I didnt overly exert myself. In fact, I struggled more than I would normally.

That night my body was in pain. Oh so much pain. I’d wake up every 20 minutes.

It flashed me back to my fibromyalgia days in 2015 when I struggled with picking up a sweet potato and grating it. I’d be that exhausted and in pain, I’d have to go back to bed again.

The following morning I had a migraine. Again, another flash back to 2016 when I had a one metre fall straight onto my head and had fell on my head.

So I thought I’d go first thing in the morning and get a massage.

This helped, but still went home and slept.

That night, my temp started to rise, and by rise, it went to 39.5 celsius (or 103.1 fahrenheit) and by Tuesday morning, I thought I’d better check to see if I didn’t have C-O-V-I-D, and yes, it turns out I’m positive.

I didn’t have a reaction.

I felt like the past three weeks of being ill was a trial for this moment. And this was my exam.

Have you ever felt this way about life?

For me it was an opportunity to prioritize health, listen to my body, follow what it needed.

I switched straight on. I asked what are the symptoms informing me of, what are my lessons here, why now, and what do I have to do to take care of my body now – and in the future. The flashbacks gave me an opportunity to heal a part of my past that I hadn’t yet loved.

Illness is an opportunity to find love.

And where you love it, you’ll find light.

In light is where deep healing occurs.

“Don’t turn away. Keep your gaze on the bandaged place (and do the mindset work to heal yourself). That’s where the light enters you.” Rumi

What is your body saying to you? And are you listening?

With love and a lot of light flowing your way.

Are you depriving yourself?

Deprivation comes in different forms.

Maybe it’s not focusing on what you do have, instead, a constant focus on what you don’t have.

Maybe it’s not allowing yourself to feel “positive” emotions (because God forbid you were to be above equilibrium and come crashing down).

Or maybe it’s putting yourself in a dynamic with another couple when you like one “more than friends” and then depriving yourself of ‘love’ because you can’t be with them (that’s what we cleared in our Maximum Growth class this week).

Deprivation is real. And it costs.

Not just financially, but the light in your soul.

And that light is not as bright to shine your service to the world.

It’s lowering your value.

It’s minimising your magnificence.

It is critical to recognize when this self-deprivation state is happening for change to occur. As we know, awareness is the key to change.

Here are the 4 D’s of depreciation to help you become aware of these moments.

• Disappointment: You set yourself up for disappointment and a sense of “you’re just not enough.” One client was depriving themselves of food because they’re afraid to put on weight. They had entangled in their mind that they would only deserve to be in a relationship if they were a particular size, and therefore unlovable any bigger, therefore living in the disappointment cycle of depreciation.

• Devaluing: You minimise yourself relative to others and think “others get what they want, and not me.” One client deprived themselves of clients because they didn’t think they deserved to coach clients and devalued themselves relative to others, repelling clients away, spinning them into a devaluing cycle of depreciation.

• Deflection: You’re not appreciating the things that you have in your life. Deflecting it (and all its juju away). A client deflected any compliments, any praise that came their way, and didn’t feel deserving of it. Instead, they are self-critical, and in a deflection cycle of depreciation.

• Disowning: You’re not seeing the power that is within you to manifest and create what it is you say you want. The member of class this week chose to open their heart to someone who wasn’t available nor interested (got to look at people’s actions, not what they say and this guy wants a baby with someone else). Therefore, they’re disowning the power within them to create a new relationship they’d love and is in the disowning cycle of depreciation

So why do we have moments in this state? It’s not sexy, it’s not empowering, it’s not getting us where we would love to be, so why do we do it?

It’s a source of attachment.

Attachments are not a conscious choice, but an unwitting set-up that lands you in that old, familiar place where it feels familiar.

Deprivation is repeated in different aspects of life. Over the years you learn to tolerate it, come to expect it, and even, yes, I’m going to say, even prefer deprivation in some strange, familiar way, like a comfy blanket.

Over time, there becomes a tipping point at which you don’t want to do the same behaviour anymore. And when that happens, remember this:

Energy goes where your attention and focus flows.

Once you know what’s driving your self-deprivation actions, once you’ve become aware of when you’re in a self-deprivation state, once you have cleared your charges (come to Maximum Growth classes to get some maximum guidance), then put attention and focus on what you truly want.

Here’s to having more juju flow to you and through you,

Can you hold a space for me to be real with you?

This is the rawest email I have ever written, so I want to thank you in advance for holding a space for me to share a moment in time of my inner world.

*deep breath*

My heart dances inside my chest as I sit cross-legged on the rocky edge of the cliff. I am alone, shivering, the cold dawn wind cutting my face. The night sky begins to break as the morning light peaks over the horizon. A few eager walkers are about, their shadows stroll by, but I hide behind some shrub out of sight.

I can imagine the waves roiling against the rocks far below, but I can’t see or even hear them. It’s a long way down. Here I am, quite literally, at the edge of a cliff, feeling my life is on a knife’s edge.

Maybe I should tie my ankles together with a rope and attach a brick – something heavy to weigh me down, sink me, so I am never found. I’m already weighed down, sunk in the heavy thoughts swirling in my head, drowning in my emotions, feeling all the painful experiences I had shut down and locked away. My emotions festered in the dark and silence, nameless and unknown, waiting to implode or maybe explode.

Only a few hours earlier I woke up, startled, after only an hour’s sleep. I felt a heaviness that I hadn’t felt in years. Black storm clouds hung over me. Wave of raw emotion came flooding over me the moment I tried to process how I was feeling. A flash of an insight, then pounded with another wave.

This is how we evolve: we arrive at a new level of understanding and then we get new shit to work on: the next emotional charge, the next challenge, the next piece of chaos. The cycle never ends. It’s like there is a deeper problem that the process is not addressing, and I don’t know what it is.

Thoughts continue to rumble in my head, louder and louder, becoming stronger and stronger. How can I be so stuck, considering I’m a counsellor? I help others get unstuck and yet I can’t unstick myself? I can’t fix the crap in my life on my own but the thought of asking for help doesn’t even cross my mind. I feel totally overwhelmed and out of my depth. I’m drowning in my inner world.

I couldn’t take it anymore so I began driving slowly in the still of the night. There is something very serene about driving at night. There is a calmness, a peace that isn’t found during the hustle and bustle of daylight. It was like I was in the eye of the storm.

My car parked against the curb, unlocked and the windows rolled down. I walked away from my car for the last time toward the high fence. There are warning signs all the way along it declaring: “Dangerous Cliffs”. I climbed the fence and now here I am, on the wrong side, with an uninterrupted view for my last sunrise here on earth. Staring out at the vast ocean, the night rain has pooled into the crevasse in the rocks below, reflecting the dawn sky. The sun started to peek above the horizon, a beautiful luminous gold ball glowing with warmth.

“Tanya, just watch the sunrise then jump. It will all be over soon.” I whisper to myself.

I flip my phone around to photograph myself. Not the ideal selfie you’d want to post on Instagram. There’s no make-up or glamour. Nor is there a desire to take twenty more shots to get just the right one.

I look at the picture and I don’t recognise myself. My eyes are dark, like a storm has rolled in. The whites of my eyes are fiery red. There are bags under my eyes from almost no sleep over the past few days. I look drained of life, lifeless.

Weeks ago I was faced with an irreversibly, life-changing fork in the road. My decision went against everything I believed in, what I was dreaming of, and what I had gone through so much for. All for somebody else. I didn’t listen to myself. Hell, I couldn’t even hear myself. I couldn’t even feel myself or sense what I might have wanted. I was so clouded by confusion that someone else’s certainty ruled my life.

That decision triggered a heap of repressed emotions to cascade down on me like a ton of bricks. Now, I find myself here, nursing immense pain and an overwhelming sense of nothing……

Lost.

Lifeless.

“You’re nothing, Tanya. You’re taking up too much space just breathing.”

Tears flow like a river down my face. There seems to be no off button for them or my thoughts. They just keep rolling in. The sun begins to burst over the horizon. Everything I know is out the window. I didn’t have any other answer but to stand on the cliff’s edge. And jump.

*exhale*

Yes, this was me at one point of my life.

You’d think it was pre knowing “the work” but it might shock you to say it was in 2015.

I’d gone through some huge life challenges and I felt that I had lost my power and my purpose. I felt very alone. I didn’t see a point in life. And didn’t want to be here.

Fast forward to now, I’m here, and grateful to a small handful of people who wrapped me up and helped put me back together again.

As part of the transformation, I walked 1000km through Spain. It was a soulful journey walking and talking with people about life, love and the meaning of our existence.

It was what helped me come back into the world to feel more connected, aligned, integrated than ever before and I am incredibly grateful for that time.

It inspired me to create a Walkshop where you get a deep transformation, where I can take care of you, guide you through your own lessons in life to awaken a deeper power and purpose within you.

One of my favorite lessons you’ll learn is that the universe is inside you. You’ll sit and watch the sunrise and own what you admire and despise about the universe and awaken it within you. When you have the humbleness to divinity, you create certainty in humanity (and the impact you want to make in the world).

Gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.

You don’t have to have your life falling apart to join this group, just an internal voice knowing you want to do more with your life than you currently are right now. Maybe you have your own healing of your body, your intimate relationship, your career and would love more power and purpose.

My promise to you is that you’ll have 5 days of tears, goosebumps, insights and deeply profound transformation.

So if you have an intuition to come to the Walkshop, you can check out the details here.

We can walk, talk and transform together.

NASA, known as The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is responsible for unique scientific and technological achievements in human spaceflight, aeronautics, space science, and space applications that have had widespread impacts on our nation and the world.

What you might not know is, this organization was forged in response to early Soviet space achievements in space.

After World War II drew to a close in the mid-20th century, a new conflict began (there is the transformation peeps). Known as the Cold War, this battle pitted the world’s two great powers–the democratic, capitalist United States and the communist Soviet Union–against each other.

Beginning in the late 1950s, the war into space would become another dramatic arena for this competition. Both countries’ focus was being the first country to plant their flag on the moon.

On October 4, 1957, a Soviet R-7 intercontinental ballistic missile launched Sputnik (Russian for “traveler”), the world’s first artificial satellite and the first man-made object to be placed into the Earth’s orbit.

Sputnik’s launch came as a surprise, and not a pleasant but painful one, to most Americans.

NASA had a challenge, and Russia had a challenger (pardon the pun).

Game on! The race to the moon has begun.

But it wasn’t easy. No one had done it before. No one had even attempted to do it before.

It was a new paradigm of thinking, of being, of doing that hadn’t been done before.

There were lots of problems to solve:

• How do you get a man up into space?

• How will they survive in space?

• What will they eat in space and how will they manage to eat warm food?

• How do you get them safely back to land?

• How do you do it without losing life?

Trying to solve these problems was where NASA pioneered technology that facilitated space travel as well as changed our everyday life. They invented things like the microwave, dust busters, polymers for fire fighting, wireless headset, CAT scans, baby formula, air purifier, memory phone, infrared ear thermometer and a computer mouse (not that anyone uses one of those anymore, right ?)

Their will and why to achieve their mission was bigger than the lots of little problems to solve.

And solve problems they did, and were the first country to land man on the moon. Pretty amazing achievement.

But since then, there has been little progress in space exploration. Until recently.

Elon Musk has vowed to make space travel efficient, cost far less and be safe for the everyday people.

This has rustled up interest from Jeff Bezos and Richard Brandson to do the same.

Competition creates innovation and progress (dam right it does!).

Now partnership is happening to create progress too. Russia is joining China as one thing they all have in common is that, this time around, the goal is to build the necessary infrastructure that will allow for a long-term human presence.

Maybe NASA can partner with the Australian Research for Space Exploration (AKA ARSE – clearly didn’t think that one through!).

OK, maybe that won’t happen, but you have to throw ideas out there and see if it’ll be a fit.

Now let’s get to YOU.

You own a business (or you want to in the future).

You have competition. Perhaps you have one big problem to solve or you have to create something that hasn’t been done before.

Firstly, embrace the competition. There are plenty of other people out there who do what you do, if that is a coach, a business owner, marketing, personal training, or a health practitioner.

BUT, no one can compete with you.

So go do you. And do you well.

See the competition as a way to solve more problems, to level up, to push you (when you need a little kick), use it as fuel to your fire.

THEN consider collaboration (see if it is perfect for you).

Because sometimes joining forces with someone else can help you level up in your business.

Remember collaboration takes in different forms, it can be someone you share the load of business with and share the profiles OR it can be a coach, like me, who is on your team (like a board of directors, I’m your mindset coach, running beside you to help you achieve greater income, greater influence and greater impact.)

So thanks NASA, Russia and the race to space for being the greatest teacher in the power of competition and collaboration.

Thanks for reading to the end, I love you to the moon and back.
